“David Yow, legendary front man for The Jesus Lizard and Scratch Acid, makes his art exhibition debut with “SOLO: the first ever one-man exhibition of paintings, collage and digital drawings by David Yow” running Aug. 14 to Sept. 11 at DIY Gallery in Echo Park, Calif. The opening reception for SOLO, with Yow on hand as well as a celebratory evening featuring music and drinks, is Aug. 14 from 7:00 to 11:00 pm.”

Yow is one of the best frontman….ever. If you have seen him perform then you might imagine that his bizarre artwork probably seems pretty normal to him. Hopefully this show will hit New York as the artwork above and after the jump look amazing. More info on the DIY Gallery below as well.
